Crashsleep 0 Posted December 20, 2012 I am having problems with absorbing adderall IR since my surgery. I've tried taking with glass of Water. Tried crushing it. Tried dissolving the crushed pill in water and drinking. Mixed in pudding. Taken on a full pouch and empty and I always avoid Vitamin C when taking it. Adderall bioavailability and absorption only seems to work just every now and then at best. 20mg twice a day. Thanks in advance for your help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BBdoodle 483 Posted December 20, 2012 I would talk to your pharmacist and see what they can suggest, they really know better that the doctors about meds etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crashsleep 0 Posted December 20, 2012 Umm it's been my experience that pharmacist and prescribing doctors know plenty about normal absorption but not about our pouches and RNY small intestine malabsorption. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vicki Loichinger 444 Posted December 20, 2012 I wonder about this a lot too. Wonder how many of the meds I am taking are getting absorbed or not. Interesting. And I agree most docs and pharmacists probably do not have a good understanding of it either. Hope you get some answers. 1 Cheryl Barfoot reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vicki Loichinger 444 Posted December 22, 2012 I have notice that my ambien i take at night for sleep works a whole lot faster now post op. It used to take me two to three hours to get sleepy after taking it, now in less than an hour I can't hold my eyes open. I don't sleep for much more than six hours afterwards but I go to sleep fast. So something is different. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
